The honorific should always be capitalised. A period after the contraction of a title is usually used in the US, Canada and South Africa, while in Britain and most other Commonwealth countries a period is not used. Style guides may call for a specific form (period or no period) in particular types of academic writing. Otherwise, just pick a form and be consistent with it. :)
